The BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) test measures the electrical activity in the brainstem in response to sound to assess hearing and auditory nerve function.
Electrodes are placed on the scalp, and auditory stimuli (clicks or tones) are presented through headphones. The electrodes detect the brainstem's electrical response to sound.
No, the BERA test is completely non-invasive and painless, requiring no needles or incisions.
The test is recommended for individuals with suspected hearing loss, speech delays, auditory nerve issues, or those who have difficulty understanding speech.
Yes, the BERA test is especially useful for detecting hearing loss in infants and newborns who are unable to respond to traditional hearing tests.
